Sunan Ibn Majah 1337 (Book 5, Hadith 535) #30689
Reciting the Quran with Melodious Voice

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that the Quran was revealed with sorrow and should be recited with a melodious voice, even if one cannot weep.

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’ib said: "Sa’d bin Abu Waqqas came to us when he had become blind. I greeted him with Salam and he said: 'Who are you?’ So I told him, and he said: 'Welcome, O son of my brother. I have heard that you recite Qur’an in a beautiful voice. I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "This Qur’an was revealed with sorrow, so when you recite it, then weep. If you cannot weep then pretend to weep, and make your voice melodious in reciting it. Whoever does not make his voice melodious, he is not one of us".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَشِيرِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، قَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَقَدْ كُفَّ بَصَرُهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِابْنِ أَخِي بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ حَسَنُ الصَّوْتِ بِالْقُرْآنِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ نَزَلَ بِحُزْنٍ فَإِذَا قَرَأْتُمُوهُ فَابْكُوا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَبْكُوا فَتَبَاكَوْا وَتَغَنَّوْا بِهِ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا

This hadith is about reciting the Quran in a beautiful way. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when we recite the Quran, it should be done with sorrow because it was revealed to us in sorrow. Even if we cannot actually weep while reciting, we should pretend to do so and make our voices melodious. He also said that whoever does not make their voice melodious while reciting is not one of us. This teaches us to take care when reading or listening to the Quran, as it is something special and sacred for Muslims all over the world.
